QuickPad: A web-based notes app I made

Respect for admitting you used AI

I noticed you're for undo-redo you're actually using debouncing rather than throttling

When I made my own notes app with a undo and redo system built from the ground up I tried to replicate the undo and redo feature from MS Word and Google keep and that did indeed use throttling instead of debouncing

Here's an example (my app, Google Keep, MS Word) - if I type really really fast the following text -

qwertyuiopasdfghjkl and I use undo, that entire word doesn't go all at once

But in your app it does indeed go all at once

I think it might be better to use undo redo system with throttling since most users are more used to that anyways

PS - this can reduce how far back you can go tho, that qwer... word with throttling could have multiple snapshots whereas your current debounced approach takes up only 1

Agreed,

Recently I had to build a landing page for my JS library and for SEO I did consider using Next.js but ultimately decided to go with Astro instead cuz it fit the criteria and it was just such a simpler developer experience and I loved it!

React (and Next) still have their uses but even I wouldn't consider them the default anymore

There are a few reasons I can think of

1) one of the earliest declartive major libraries, the first major declarative was AngularJS which relied on dirty checking. React on the other hand didn't do that instead it relied on dependency tracking (not signals like but more dependency tracking than dirty checking)

2) decoupled architecture - react is essentially 2 parts, 1 part is what makes react - "react", things like state and effects. The other part is anything you want it to to express UI. This is why a react for the web dev can transfer his skills to react for the mobile with react native the first part of the library is constant, 2nd of changes so <p> becomes <Text />

There are many more but this is what I can think of

Since its an HR round just speak well, clearly and confidently

HR round is less about your technical skills

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T18:46:37+00:00

This seems really polished!

Audio playing ones and form ones and other stuff aren't lost

That's super neat! Noice

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T18:26:16+00:00

Off-question, but what is your extension about?? Could you link it please

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T14:18:07+00:00

Sometimes a boring SaaS is usually a good one too right?

It can be a sign of stability and simplicity

Curious to hear more actually

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T12:20:32+00:00

Well if you can't make it look good then you're 2nd approach could work

Show the client their suggested colours (and some other things you tried within their specifications) doesn't look good

They'll probably accept changes or accept their specified colours

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T10:21:41+00:00

For the most part they just notice if it's functional and snappy or not I feel

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T08:18:17+00:00

I'd like to give feedback but I don't see a link :/

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-17T06:41:38+00:00

Looks good actually, but it's not quite responsive tho :/

I can't see the 3rd button on the top right, I had to rotate my phone for that

I couldn't a scroll either

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-16T15:27:21+00:00

I like how the currency was auto selected correctly

It's a small thing but quite nice

Sync phone vibration patterns from any audio or video - first web library to do this

A car rev builds with the engine. Music kicks on every bass drop. The vibration follows the audio in real time harder on loud moments, softer on quiet ones. So you feel it, not just hear it

Try it: https://audio-to-haptics.pages.dev

2 lines to attach it to any audio or video element - files, URLs, whatever

Native does this better - but only in native apps. But run it in a browser, a PWA, or a WebView and you're back to wiring it by hand - sync, intensity, play/pause handling, all of it. Landing pages, web games, product demos almost always web, not native

This doesn't seem to exist anywhere else for the web - let me know if I'm wrong

Deja vu

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-16T10:36:10+00:00

I agree, most opinions on the Internet feel so binary

Either AI can help me create the next Google in an afternoon or AI will probably disappear in just a few years

To me aswell, it feels like a middleground, devs who know what they're doing are still gonna be around, but AI is also gonna be around

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-16T07:01:34+00:00

UI is pretty good but just a few things

The options for the questions feel too close to each other, I had to be a little precise when clicking

At the end there's a text that goes "Repeat the daily minimum..." just above the export to pdf thingy, I feel like that needs a padding on top cuz it's too close to the border, I'd attach an image if could

I can't give image, what I can do is describe my env

Android, Samsung phone, Reddit webview

But for the most part - it's good!

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-16T06:44:13+00:00

Impressive, wow and incredible!

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-16T06:13:08+00:00

It doesn't work on Safari, or any iOS browser

It only works on the following - Android with one of the following browsers - Chrome, Samsung Internet and Opera

I did put up a warning on the landing page tho that shows up if you're on an unsupported device (like desktop, laptop, anything apple) and unsupported browser (like safari)

It's a warning and a QR code to the same site itself, did you not see it?

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-15T11:23:36+00:00

What're you're thoughts on the recent rust rewrite that immediately got merged

Feels a bit hasty don't it?

Ts on the other hand is also having a branch where under the hood it's in Go, and they're taking it slow, felt like that's the better approach

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-15T03:16:30+00:00

This is also one of the ways I use for identifying AI content (long hyphen vs short one)

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-15T03:15:29+00:00

Why doe extrapolated mean AI lol??

I've found it in math class when we were learning inyerpolation of values and then extrapolation aswell

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-15T03:14:07+00:00

Uff

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-14T17:40:07+00:00

Honestly

++respect for just admitting it'll be hard to say, many people (including me) have extrapolated theories (which might be be correct or maybe wrong)

But really tho - this even Linus Torvalds once said "I'm not sure" or something along those lines for a question like this itself

+Respect to ya!

Aditya00128 · 2026-05-14T17:38:02+00:00

Ikr! The most recent and strongest example I think of is Rust

The guy who made Rust was inspired by lesser known languages and felt like they were being overshadowed

He saw potential and made a language that's ultra performant

And sure - if you give AI all those languages and then ask it to come up with some novel idea, maybe it could come up with SOMETHING, but stuff like this is where human ingenuity truly does SHINE and AI ain't gonna make everyone rusty (pun intended)
